How it works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Planning an evening event in Fringford? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

How to prepare

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Our booking checklist

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A short walk from the party

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Gravy

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How long we serve
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The day of the week
  • The menu and how many choices

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Where the van would park

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Fringford?

Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Fringford

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Fringford

We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Do you come out to small places like Fringford?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How does fish and chip van hire work?

We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.

Do you cover Fringford?

Yes, we do. Fringford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Is a chip van good for a large crowd?

That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

Do you need power or water?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
